Was Jesus an Essense?

Dear Biby Cletus

Thanks so much for your feedback on my blog. Indeed, you mentioned
spirituality, which is very interesting. I always want to know more,
especially voices from "the other side of the moon"

As for the point of Essense, though I know nothing about it , but
I would like to tell you some ideas from Zhuangzi (or: Chong tzu,
which is a different spelling), who was the most important thinker
in China, and though most of Zhuangzi's works, are not works by
Zhuangzi himself, mostly from other scholars too eager to change
and mix up his ideas.

One very important aspect of Zhuangzi is: to see the world from
both internal and external points of view. Most of the time, when one
tries to see things from outside, can not reach the true meaning of
the things. To see from inside is extremely important.

Let me give you one example.

A very important and influencial lady had come to Hong Kong. Many
journalists wish to contact her, interview her.

They brought in lots of questions : Do you like Hong Kong? Where are you From?
Who is your favourite movie star? What do you likt to eat?
Which movies you like best? Do you like Hong Kong weather, , , etc.

----

And the lady turn out to be Mother Teresa.

All those questions, are questions to quest for outside meaning. not
inside meaning.

I do not meant that outside views are not important. they are
eaqually important. But, one must catch the inside meaning first.
understanding from within, is the most important way to see the
World.

As for Jesus, the important point is to understand him from inside,
not outside. Although the outside features are sometimes attractive,
but not so important.

The point of inside and outside, is one very important Chineses Way
of thinking, though it is almost forgotten nowadays.

I had posted your blog here for our readers, they will find it interesting.

Hope you every success in your writing career.
